Positive: Staff were all very friendly, capable and cared about offering great service. Standards were very high from all staff members we encountered. Everything was clean and well presented. The traditional old English pub seemed very well cared for. Our breakfast bags for our early getaway were all great. The food & drinks were absolutely fantastic, enjoyed by our whole party and great value for money in this day and age. An absolutely fantastic stop over for our European adventures, and one I'd be confident staying at again, and recommending to my friends and customers.
Negative: My Mum was in our party, who is massively short sighted/blind, and she's also pretty deaf, so the menu on the wall was a bit of a struggle for her. A QR code on the table for a menu would be a help for her (or for me to sort that to show her lol). But I LIKED that, so you're never going to please everyone! We also have a campervan, and I'd love the option to stay there in the campervan.
Summary: Great pub and lodgings
